BSA Section 157 ((1) The Court may, in its discretion, permit the person who calls a witness...) was identified by the audit as not appearing in any edge in the current corpus. A predecessor identification (under IPC / CrPC / IEA) has not been completed and requires secondary review. This section may correspond to a pre-existing provision in the old code, may be a structural reorganization, or may be a genuinely new provision. This draft placeholder edge ensures section coverage in the corpus while flagging it for secondary review during the editorial verification pass.
